I have checked and re-checked the ~root/.rhosts files for syntax, permissions, location, etc. Normal user rlogin's are fine, root on the older OS always gets asked for a password. root login refused on this terminal I've set SKEY keys and still get refused. Where is this terminal being defined to be secure (I assume it is just a network ttyp??) - /etc/ttys doesn't list it. OK, I can rlogin/telnet/Skey as another user and then su via S/KEY but it is bugging me that I cannot find the file where this behaviour is being set - man pages don't mention this and login.access is all commented out. Basically is there a change in the default behaviour for root logins??
